Week numbers in the Outlook Web App and Outlook calendars are mismatched in an Exchange Server 2010 environment

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

In a Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 environment, the week numbers that are displayed in the Outlook Web App calendar do not match the week numbers that are displayed in the Microsoft Outlook calendar. For example, in the English version of Outlook Web App, the first week in 2013 is numbered "2." However, in the English version of Microsoft Outlook 2010, the first week in 2013 is numbered "1."

Notes
  • To display the week number in Outlook Web App, select the Show week numbers in Month View check box in the Calendar settings.
  • To display the week number in Outlook 2010, select the Show week numbers in the month view and in the Date Navigator check box. This check box is located under the Display options heading in the Calendar tab of the Outlook Options dialog box.
